INSTALLING ETHERNET CABLING<br />
- be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power<br />
outlet.<br />
- be out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a<br />
high amount of electromagnetic interference. The temperature should<br />
be within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%,<br />
non-condensing.<br />
- be located in a cool dry place, and have adequate space (approximately<br />
ten centimeters or four inches) on all sides for proper air flow<br />
- be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices<br />
- allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible<br />
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,<br />
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference,<br />
such as radios and transmitters.<br />
• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet<br />
that provides 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%), 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz), is within 2<br />
m (6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit<br />
breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is<br />
recommended.<br />
Installing Ethernet Cabling<br />
To ensure proper operation when installing switches into a network, make<br />
sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or<br />
1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current<br />
installation of your network:<br />
• Cable type should be unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted<br />
pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for<br />
10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or<br />
6 for 1000BASE-T.<br />
